@Mungri - actually, have just tested it and I *can* Polymorph to Sword Spider - Jeezus! That's a bit too OP, do you think they're going to leave this as is in BGEE?
I haz an extra wizard slayer in my pocket now lulz.
Good god, its gonna destroy the mage at the Friendly Arm Inn too, I'm not playing a shapeshifter anymore for my first character - LAwful Evil Swashbuckler, gain 10,000 EXP for level 5, dual to Mage, pick Find Familiar, fo trololol.
Daevorn will be a cakewalk with two hasted mustard jellies at my disposal.
Also killing Firebeard only made Winthrop and Tethtoril hostile, you can just do the 500 exp worth of quests, kill Firebeard for another 2700, and maybe even find more stuff to kill to get up to 5000 EXP and level 3 mage before leaving candlekeep, as long as Gorion doesnt go hostile.

this seems quite overpowering lol I never really used Find Familiar very much, I suppose it's worth a try now that I know how powerful they can be hahaha
In my current game I'm using the NE Dust Mephit, which can cast Glitterdust once per day (as a spell) and Glass Dust twice a day (as an innate), as well as giving 12 extra HP to my mage, pretty impressive for a level one spell you only need to cast once! The only things I think they might have scaled back a bit, compared to SOA is that it's magic resistance is only 10% and I think AC at 6 might be higher (I.e not as good).

I think Mungri can confirm, but in BGEE the Imp can't Polymorph to a hasted Sword Spider anymore (thankfully), but instead an ordinary giant (or was it huge?) spider, non-hasted, still not bad, though, and the Grey Ooze form is still pretty lethal.
Yeah...the imp is completely broken, imo. But actually the find familar spell is kinda overpowered. Gaining a bunch of HP at level one makes pure mage really easy to play.
Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler!!! Yup, familiars are seriously overpowered for BG1, and it doesn't matter what kind they are. Their best use in BG1 one is simply this: You hit a new area, releae your familiar, and cast Invisibility on it. Voila!, you use him as a long lasting Wizard Eye, and use him to , um, call in air strikes, if you will..... for instance, use the Ferret to pick Algernon's Cloak, then say, at the Bandit Camp, you use him to range one Bandit, and Charm him, turn on the next, then, etc.etc, all the while never exposing your character to more than one at a time. Really saves on those Invisibility spells. Can you say 'Cheese, boys and girls?'
Dude you just necrod a thread from November since then Familiars have been nurfed considerably. There HP has been cut in half, there AC and THAC0 were raised and there skills and saves refused. Using a familiar to scout and pick pocket is no more over powered then having a thief in the party that can that pulse back stab.
True, I guess. However, I got bored playing parties a long time ago. I'm an Adventurer, not a baby-sitter. Usually playing solo Sorcerors, or Blades. In that case, it kind of IS OP. Its a Wizard eye that never stops and only costs me a low level invisible spell. What do I care if their Thaco and AC are nerfed? I just got BGEE, like it so far, compared to TUTU, which is what I had been playing, its much better balanced. Just wonder what the cheese meisters are going to find

Lulz, I wonder if it can kill Gorion.... Well it could, but Gorion magically targets and kills me while I'm hiding in the inn
